Nor is it a justification for the techniques over a more traditional approach to capturing a scene. A great deal of my current landscape or architectural work is not specifically long […]
My Photo Mechanic to Lightroom import workflow
Today I had a call from William, a fellow London wedding photographer, asking for a bit of advice on his importing workflow. He’d been using Lightroom for the whole shebang and was finding it very slow going. Which it is! Lightroom is fine for importing a few photos but if you’ve got thousands of images […]

“Why Fuji” – Form following function or what feels right…
Fuji gets so much right and, in some ways, so much better than others. Fuji cameras just “are”, and I will not move on beyond X-Pro3 because that camera and my older bodies will give me A2 or A1 prints at a push which is all I can ask for.

I believe I can fly – Fuji X-T2 and Motocross
We photographers often stay to long in our comfort zone. In my case this means photographing landscapes and wildlife.

Lost Paradise
It’s difficult to understand the real motivations that led us to go to Hawai’i. If you think carefully about it, they’re one of the most remote islands. At 8000 miles of distance from Spain, that is a best-case scenario of 24 hours flying with several stopovers. To be honest, there are plenty of other options […]
